Place Value Guide: Writing Numbers with Thousands, Hundreds, Tens, and Ones (Lesson)
A four‑digit number is made up of different place values.
The first digit tells you how many thousands there are, the next digit shows the number of hundreds, the third digit represents the tens, and the final digit shows the ones. Using these positions, you can expand the number to show the value of each part.
Example: Write 3,728 in expanded form.
The 3 stands for 3 thousands, which equals 3,000
The 7 stands for 7 hundreds, which equals 700
The 2 stands for 2 tens, which equals 20
The 8 stands for 8 ones, which equals 8
When we put all the place values together, we get:
3,728 = 3,000 + 700 + 20 + 8
